[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It varies year yo year but I do keep an eye on Potomac vs Holton.  Potomac is markedly stronger, controlling for female vs female[/quote]

Wrong! Holton has much better results. Too many Potomac grads go to UVA -- they could have saved $$ + gone to any public h.s.[/quote]

Potomac sends too many to a top 25 university (with top 10 law school and top 15 mba) in a vibrant and scenic college town where most get the benefits if in-state tuition.  How dare they!

I’d be freaking ecstatic for my DC to get in. [/quote]

Good for you. But, my point is Potomac does nothing more for a kid than any VA Public. Potomac is not for intellectual students.[/quote]

You, PP, are clearly unhappy about some interaction you had with Potomac because this is utterly untrue.  Posting falsehoods about a top school helps no one and makes the poster seem either ignorant or bitter.

OP, my kid is a student at Potomac (upper school). She loves it and we’ve been happy with her experience - have other kids at other privates we can compare the experience to. She was accepted to other top privates (we live in DC) and loved Potomac so chose it (didn’t look at Madeira). That said, Madeira is a very good school and if it’s what your DD prefers, I believe that is the most important reason to accept. Having your kid love high school is more valuable than anything other metric when evaluating success. [/quote]
